Niagara Wheatfield Amateur Athletics in a
combined effort with the Niagara Wheatfield Athletics Alumni have announced the
development of a new sports complex.

The group has purchased 31 acres of land
on the corner of Walmore and Saunders Settlement Roads with the intention of
developing multiple soccer/lacrosse fields and multi-use fields. Niagara
Wheatfield Amateur Athletics also has added travel soccer to its existing
programs in conjunction with the development of a new field complex. The
program is affiliated with NY State West and will be participating in the
Buffalo Western NY Soccer League starting this summer.

Teams are being created for youth ages 10
to 19, boys and girls. Teams will be established this year based on interest.
Those interested in joining the NWAA team for the upcoming 2012 summer season
should email Richard Crossley, president of the Niagara Wheatfield Amateur
Athletics and its alumni group, at [email protected]. Experienced coaches
also are needed.

The home fields will be within the
Niagara-Wheatfield school district.

"The goal is to better support the
Niagara-Wheatfield soccer program with the hopes of allowing kids to play
together year-round on centralized teams," Crossley said. "Our U18 and U13 and
U10 boys teams as well as the U10 girls are accepting players for the next
couple weeks. If you are interested in more information, go to www.nwaasports.net under travel soccer and email the
appropriate coaches for more information. We look forward to seeing you on the
field."

NWAA has been serving families in the
Wheatfield, Lewiston, Town of Niagara, North Tonawanda and Niagara Falls area
for more than 30 years providing quality youth sports to the generations. NWAA
is a completely volunteer group that obtains most of its funding through
donations and fundraising events.
